For the avoidant attachment people, sometimes it could be like, you know, ways to get space for yourself. Like, if that means that in the conversation you notice that your blood is starting to boil, just say I need minutes, I need minutes, and just go and do something that helps calm down and then come back together when you're feeling more calm. So it makes it way more of like a partnership, right.
What happens when a global pandemic forces us into close quarters with our romantic partners? For some, it's been a bonding experience; for others, it's been a real test of patience. In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon dive into the world of attachment theory to shed light on how our attachment styles influence our romantic relationships during these unprecedented times.
Drawing from Mary Ainsworth's pioneering research, they break down the different attachment styles—like avoidant and anxious—and explain how these patterns can play out in adult relationships. But they don't just leave you with theory; Jacqueline and Kibby offer practical advice on how to communicate effectively and take care of yourself and your partner. They emphasize the importance of recognizing your own needs and expressing them clearly, even when emotions are running high.
You'll learn why it's crucial to validate your partner's feelings, create a respectful dialogue, and know when to take a step back to cool off. Whether your relationship has thrived or struggled during quarantine, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable tips to help you navigate love in lockdown.
